This domain is named PAZ after the proteins Piwi Argonaut and Zwille. This domain is found in two families of proteins that are involved in post-transcriptional gene silencing. These are the Piwi family and the Dicer family, that includes the Carpel factory protein. The function of the domains is unknown but has been suggested to mediate complex formation between proteins of the Piwi and Dicer families by hetero-dimerisation. The three-dimensional structure of this domain has been solved [2-4]. The PAZ domain is composed of two subdomains. One subdomain is similar to the OB fold, albeit with a different topology. The OB-fold is well known as a single-stranded nucleic acid binding fold. The second subdomain is composed of a beta-hairpin followed by an alpha-helix. The PAZ domains shows low-affinity nucleic acid binding and appears to interact with the 3' ends of single-stranded regions of RNA in the cleft between the two subdomains. PAZ can bind the characteristic two-base 3' overhangs of siRNAs, indicating that although PAZ may not be a primary nucleic acid binding site in Dicer or RISC, it may contribute to the specific and productive incorporation of siRNAs and miRNAs into the RNAi pathway.

Members of this family include the DEAD and DEAH box helicases. Helicases are involved in unwinding nucleic acids. The DEAD box helicases are involved in various aspects of RNA metabolism, including nuclear transcription, pre mRNA splicing, ribosome biogenesis, nucleocytoplasmic transport, translation, RNA decay and organellar gene expression.	Domain
A	PF00271	Helicase conserved C-terminal domain (Helicase_C)	Helicase conserved C-terminal domain	The Prosite family is restricted to DEAD/H helicases, whereas this domain family is found in a wide variety of helicases and helicase related proteins. It may be that this is not an autonomously folding unit, but an integral part of the helicase.	Domain

This domain is found in Endoribonuclease Dicer from chordates. This dsRNA endoribonuclease is involved in the cleavage of long RNA precursors into short dsRNAs and plays a role in gene silencing. Dicer shows two N-terminal helicase domains (Pfam:PF04851 and Pfam:PF00271), a dimerisation domain (Pfam:PF03368), a Platform domain, a PAZ domain (Pfam:PF02170), an RNase IIIa/b domain (Pfam:PF00636) and a dsRNA-binding domain in its C-terminal region (this entry). This domain protrudes from the RNase IIIb domain in the middle of the protein. It may be involved in recruiting RNA substrates [1,2].	Domain

This domain is found in Endoribonuclease Dicer from chordates. This dsRNA endoribonuclease is involved in the cleavage of long RNA precursors into short dsRNAs and plays a role in gene silencing. Dicer shows two N-terminal helicase domains (Pfam:PF04851 and Pfam:PF00271), a dimerisation domain (Pfam:PF03368), a Platform domain, a PAZ domain (Pfam:PF02170), an RNase IIIa/b domain (Pfam:PF00636) and a dsRNA-binding domain in its C-terminal region. This entry represents the platform domain, which sits on the top of the L-shaped Dicer structure and shows a phosphate pocket [1-3].	Domain

This domain is found in members of the Dicer protein family which function in RNA interference, an evolutionarily conserved mechanism for gene silencing using double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules. It is essential for the activity of Dicer [1,2]. It is a divergent double stranded RNA-binding domain [3]. The N-terminal alpha helix of this domain is in a different orientation to that found in canonical dsRNA-binding domains. This results in a change of charge distribution at the potential dsRNA-binding surface and in the N- and C-termini of the domain being in close proximity [4]. This domain has weak dsRNA-binding activity. It mediates heterodimerisation of Dicer proteins with their respective protein partners [4].	Domain
A	PF20930	Dicer, partner-binding domain (Dicer_PBD)	Dicer, partner-binding domain	This domain is found in Endoribonuclease Dicer from chordates. This dsRNA endoribonuclease is involved in the cleavage of long RNA precursors into short dsRNAs and plays a role in gene silencing. Dicer shows two N-terminal helicase domains (Pfam:PF04 ...

This entry represents the partner-binding domain, which folds into a four-helix bundle. It is is responsible for the interactions with the dsRNA-binding proteins that support the enzymatic activity of Dicer [1,2].	Domain
